Select Society of Sanitary Sludge Shovelers
|
|
The Select Society of Sanitary Sludge Shovelers (5S) is used by water environment associations (i.e. those working with sewage and sewage treatment) to honour those who have made a particular contribution to the industry.
The original Chapter of the Five S Society was formed in Arizona in October 1940, the idea being conceived by A.W. "Dusty" Miller and F. Carlyle Roberts, Jr.. There are chapters in many of the United States and in Canada, as well as the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
In theory, you cannot join a 5S Chapter; instead you must be selected.
